Chapter 23
As if there were days in the dark, for a period of time after returning from the Holy Land of Wudang, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang had a thought in their minds from time to time. The majesty of Bodhidharma always lingered in their hearts, and it became increasingly clear.

The two discussed to choose an opportunity to go to Songshan Shaolin for a trip.And the sooner the better, so that the wish can be fulfilled as soon as possible.

Even though the two are about to face the heavy schoolwork of the high school entrance examination, they still can't stop their determination to pay their respects.

The so-called "Where there is a will, there is a way", the two people's deliberate deliberations, they finally took advantage of the gap, early this Saturday morning, first took the high-speed train, then changed to the express bus, and when they arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon The scene is over.

At this moment, Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou were hungry, so they found a restaurant, filled their stomachs in a hurry, and after storing their luggage in the inn, they turned to Shaolin Temple.

Needless to say, piety, he never rests when he wanders up and down all the way.

However, tonight is different from the past. Firstly, it is still early, so there is no need to hurry; secondly, after practicing the Taiyang Heart Sutra, the energy is like a thousand miles a day, which is completely different from the previous trip to Wudang.

Even so, with their unhurried pace, they were much faster than ordinary people.

Look at the time when Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou were about to reach the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple.It was about three thirty in the afternoon.

Looking at the simple and magnificent temples and the majestic and rolling mountains, the two couldn't help feeling admiration.

Tourists crowded shoulder to shoulder, and the two didn't care too much. After bowing in front of the mountain gate and prostrating three times, they walked in slowly.

This time, the main purpose of coming here is the Bodhidharma Cave, followed by the temple.Therefore, after Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou worshiped the two Buddhas in the present and future in the Daxiong Hall, they came to the Dharma Cave in the back mountain.

Bodhidharma Cave is located more than ten meters below the middle peak of Wuru Peak. Patriarch Bodhidharma faced the wall here for nine years and finally attained the Dao.It is said that the 72 stunts were realized during this period of time.

The cave is seven meters deep and three meters high and wide.For thousands of years, many tourists have come to pay homage to the cave, which makes the ground in the cave smooth and abnormal.

It was about five o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou arrived at the Dharma Cave, and most of the tourists began to return.

The two bowed three times outside the cave, and worshiped three times when they entered the cave, and then carefully looked at the image reflected on the cave wall when the patriarch was practicing.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou felt that the faintly visible image gradually became clear as the other tourists left, and the outline of the ancestor's face was much more vivid than before.

The two looked at each other in surprise, and rubbed their eyes in unison. When they looked again, the patriarch looked like a mirror, almost no different from ordinary people, with a vivid and serene face.

But when he saw the patriarch sitting down, with his palms folded, his eyes closed, his beard and hair were all white, as if dyed by frost.

This phenomenon only lasted for three seconds.When the tourists behind entered the cave, the image disappeared instantly.

After Jiang Yang and Ou Zhounahan looked at each other, they wondered whether the scene just now would happen after this wave of tourists went out.

However, one went to the monastery to clear the place every night, and never saw that miraculous scene again.

Like Wudang, Shaolin also has guest rooms.That night, Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou stayed in the temple after eating vegetarian food.

At night, Shaoshi Mountain is quiet and serene, like a kind mother sleeping peacefully.The stars in the night sky are extraordinarily bright.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou went to bed early this night, and planned to get up early tomorrow to go to the Bodhidharma Cave to observe.

In the middle of the night, with the sound of "Amitabha Buddha", the door of the guest room opened without wind, and an old man with white beard and hair floated in from outside: "You two little benefactors, do you recognize me?"

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou stood up to worship, and said in horror: "Could it be that Patriarch Bodhidharma is here?"

The patriarch smiled and said, "The shadows appear during the day, just to meet at this moment."

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou said in amazement: "I was taught by Master Zhang in Wudang before, and tonight I am here in Shaolin again. The disciples are sincere and fearful, and listen to the teachings of the ancestors respectfully."

"Well," the patriarch stroked his beard with his hands and said with a smile: "You two are talented and have a great mission to help the world. I am entrusted by Zhang Zhenren to show up this time. I can't teach you two people the Sun Heart Sutra. I am stingy, and I would like to give you the deep-seated exploration method that I have realized in recent years, so as to help you and others benefit the common people."

After finishing speaking, the patriarch slowly stretched out his palms, Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou were pulled by the palm force, and involuntarily sat down in front of the patriarch, their bodies suspended in the air, as if floating.

The patriarch muttered something, and with his hands or palms or fingers, he patted or tapped Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou's bodies.The bodies of the two are like tops, spinning slowly under the influence of the patriarch.

After a while, the patriarch stopped his efforts, but the two of them seemed to have fallen asleep, their bodies were still suspended in the air, as if they closed their eyes and rested their minds.

I heard the patriarch say: "When the two of you wake up, you will have the three successes. You can detect the subtle words of a hundred meters around you. In the future, after you have completed your magical skills, you will be able to sense everything thousands of miles away." After speaking, he drifted away.

Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou shouted urgently: "Patriarch, stop."

The two suddenly woke up from the bed and sat up, only to realize that it was another dream.

"Strange," Jiang Yang wondered.

"Could it be true?" Ou Zhou asked doubtfully.

"You'll know if it's strange or not," Jiang Yang said.

"Well, not bad." Ou Zhou nodded.

So he sat on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated on what the patriarch had received, and acted according to the law.Sure enough, the sound of insects and ants within a hundred meters was clearly audible, like watching a movie.

"Hey, it really is true." Ou Zhou exclaimed in surprise.

"We had many adventures, and we were taught by Master Zhang and Bodhidharma, and learned two peerless magical skills. But we don't know what virtue and ability we have, to be so favored by Shangcang." Jiang Yang said solemnly.

"The so-called Dao follows nature, and everything follows fate. The patriarch just said that we are also responsible for helping the world. What is going on is still unknown." Ou Zhou said, "But since playing Wudang, my academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds. It can be easily solved. If things go on like this, Cuihua’s high school dream is like picking something out of a bag.”

"Yes, I had no hope for a first-class university, but judging from the recent cultural courses, it is not impossible to be admitted to Qingbei University." Jiang Yang also said.

"Although the ancient books are obscure and difficult to understand, with the continuous improvement of our knowledge level, it will be a matter of time to solve the mystery of the ancient books."

"The profundity of the Sun Heart Sutra is not limited to martial arts, it is also of great help to improve intelligence. After each practice, the mind will become clearer and clearer."

"Our martial arts and culture classes have fully benefited from this."

"It's just advancing by leaps and bounds, and there are thousands of miles in a day."

"This time, we have been granted by the Bodhidharma Patriarch God to explore the subtle mind method. It is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, and it will greatly enhance our defense capabilities."

"Suppose the Sun Heart Sutra is a sharp spear, and the method of exploring the micro-mind is a strong shield."

"That's right, one produces powerful attack power, and the other provides strong protection power."

"The two complement each other, but only for our own benefit. According to the Patriarch, the ancient books are the core."

"That's right, we are both the Sun Heart Sutra and the Cave You Exploration Micro-Mind Dharma, on the premise of protecting and interpreting the secrets of ancient books."

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. If you have a treasure, you will suffer it if you don't have strong force to protect it."

"Brother, now that we have sorted out our thoughts, the most urgent thing to do is to focus on studies. Only by accumulating a wealth of knowledge can we solve the mystery of ancient books."

"Yes, I think so too."

"After dawn, we will bid farewell to our ancestors in front of the cave and return to Fengcheng."

"So much the better."

"By the way, brother, when I go back, I want to see your high school courses." Ou Zhou looked at Jiang Yang expectantly and said.

"Why, do you intend to compete with me?" Jiang Yang looked at him with a smile and asked.

"In recent days, my sanity has increased greatly. The knowledge points that I couldn't remember in the past are now playing in my mind like a movie. There is no doubt about the junior high school curriculum. If possible, I want to skip the high school entrance examination and take the college entrance examination directly."

"There are still two months to go before the college entrance examination. What about the three-year course? How can I master it in two months?"

"We can intensify our practice of the Sun Heart Sutra. While making great progress in martial arts, it can also further enhance our mind. If we can remember it with a photographic memory, it may not be impossible in two months."

"Yes, I support you. When I get back, I will give you a copy of the notes of each subject in the three years of high school, and you can buy a set of textbooks."

"Very good. Brother, keep this matter a secret for me. It's not too late to let everyone know after I have mastered the high school courses and obtained the qualifications for the college entrance examination."

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Yang smiled, "Then you still take the high school entrance examination?"

"Of course you have to participate, otherwise you won't reveal your secrets." Ou Zhou blinked.

The next morning, the two came to the Bodhidharma Cave, bowed their heads and prayed silently: "Thanks to the dream and blessings of the patriarch and the real soul, we have benefited endlessly. After we succeed in our studies, we will definitely live up to our mission and devote ourselves to benefiting the common people."

That afternoon, Jiang Yang and Ou Zhou returned to Fengcheng by high-speed train.
